Method
Ingredients
1. To make the prawn mixture, place all the ingredients into a food processor. Pulse to form a coarse, sticky paste. Cover and chill overnight.
2. To make the toast, spread the prawn mixture evenly over the bread, right to the edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cut each slice into three neat triangles and remove the crusts. Heat a shallow layer of oil in a pan until hot. Fry the bread, prawn-side down, until golden. Turn and cook until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper. If making ahead, cool completely and store in the fridge.
3. To make the dipping sauce, whisk together the ingredients until glossy.
4. If necessary, reheat the toast in the oven or air-fryer at 180°C for 6–8 minutes. Serve hot with the dipping sauce and a scattering of spring onions or coriander
